Hic mihi placet

I generally detest MemeGen memes, on the grounds that they aren't funny and reveal nothing of interest or value about the people who do them. However, even I could not resist finding out what Latin case I am:

What Latin Noun Case Are You? by TigerBotEdge

How many times a month do you post?
Your Latin Noun CaseYou are the Dative Case. Since you're mostly an indirect object, mainly people are either doing something TO you or doing something FOR you. Gosh. Don't know whether you should be offended or thrilled. Ah, well--I'll leave THAT ONE up to you.

i was ablative. apparantly this is like being a rogue encyclopaedia salesman and means that people can't work me out. i feel slightly offended!

Wouldn't somebody doing something TO you make you the object of the action and hence accusative? The way it's written implies that "doing something" is the verb-part, as opposed to "giving something to you" where the something is the object.

Basically, yes, although I suppose the person writing this was trying to use 'doing something' as a generic idea to cover a whole range of verbs in Latin which do take the dative as their direct and only object.

Rather like astrology, I do recognise something of myself here:

You are the Vocative Case. Hate to break it to you, but not many people notice you except when they're calling you names behind your back. But hey, you almost always look just like a Nominative, so maybe you can slink by without anyone noticing. Lots of luck with that...Just don't refer to yourself as 'Great One'. It's a dead giveaway.

Smeggy smegger isn't saying anything for me. Server must be overloaded or something. :(
I'm probably accusative or something such like, though.

Hmm I am nto sure I like this quiz...
You are the Nominative Case. You're common as an old shoe, but let's face it, a lifetime full of imperatives would be boring and lame.
